Ezekiel 36

1 Nang hlang capa loh Israel tlang te tonghma thil laeh lamtah Israel tlang te, 'BOEIPA ol hnatun,’ ti nah.

“But as for you, son of man, prophesy over the mountains of Israel, and you shall say: O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord.

2 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Na thunkha loh, 'Khuih ka khosuen hmuensang rhoek khaw kaimih ham khoh la om coeng,’ a ti lah ko.

Thus says the Lord God: Because the enemy has said about you: ‘It is well! The everlasting heights have been given to us as an inheritance!’

3 Te dongah tonghma lamtah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he thui laeh. Na pong ham neh kaepvai lamloh nangmih te hloem ham om coeng. Namtom kah a meet ham khoh na om ni. Pilnam kah ol neh theetnah kamhloei ah ni na pongpa coeng.

because of this, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Because you have been made desolate, and you have been trampled on every side, and you have been made into an inheritance for the remainder of the nations, and because you rose up, over the tip of the tongue and over the shame of the people,

4 Te dongah Israel tlang rhoek ka Boeipa Yahovah ol he hnatun uh. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh tlang taeng neh som taengah, sokca taeng neh kolrhawk taengah, imrhong aka pong ham neh khopuei a hnoo taengah he ni a. thui. A kaepvai kah namtom a meet kah maeh neh tamdaengnah ham ni a. om uh.

because of this, O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord God. Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the torrents, and to the valleys, and to the deserts, and to the ruins, and to the forsaken cities, which have been depopulated and ridiculed by the remainder of the nations all around:

5 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Namtom a meet te ka thatlainah hmai neh ka voek het mahpawt nim? Edom long khaw ka khohmuen te a pum la kohoenah neh amamih ham khoh la a khueh uh. Thinko boeih lamloh hinglu kah uetnah neh maeh la a haek uh.

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal, I have spoken about the remainder of the nations, and about all of Idumea, who have given my land to themselves, joyfully, as an inheritance, and with all the heart and mind, and who have cast it out, so that they may lay waste to it.

6 Te dongah Israel khohmuen te tonghma thil lamtah tlang taeng neh som taengah khaw, sokca taeng neh kolrhawk taengah thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Namtom taengkah mingthae na phueih dongah ni kai loh ka thatlainah neh, ka kosi neh ka thui.

Therefore, prophesy over the soil of Israel, and you shall say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I have spoken in my zeal and in my fury, because you have endured the shame of the Gentiles.

7 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Kai loh ka kut te namtom ka thueng thil pawt koinih nangmih te a kaepvai ah amih kah mingthae ni a. phueih uh eh.

Therefore, thus says the Lord God: I have lifted up my hand, so that the Gentiles, who are all around you, will themselves bear their shame.

8 Tedae nang Israel tlang tah na pae na voeih vetih ka pilnam Israel ham ha pawk tom coeng dongah na thaih khaw thai ni.

But as for you, O mountains of Israel, spring forth your branches, and bear your fruit, to my people Israel. For they are close to their advent.

9 Kai he nangmih taengkah coeng dongah, nang taengla ka hooi vaengah n'thohtat thil uh vetih n'tawn uh ni.

For behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be plowed, and you will receive seed.

10 Israel imkhui tom kah hlang te a pum la nangmih soah ka pung sak vetih khosa rhoek loh khopuei neh imrhong te a thoh uh.

And I will multiply men among you and among all the house of Israel. And the cities shall be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be restored.

11 Nangmih soah hlang neh rhamsa khaw ka ping sak vetih a ping uh neh pungtai uh ni. Nangmih te namah hmuen la kho kan sak sak vetih nangmih te a tongnah lakah kan hoeikhang sak ni. Te vaengah kai he BOEIPA la nan ming uh bitni.

And I will fill you again with men and with cattle. And they will be multiplied, and they will increase. And I will cause you to live as from the beginning, and I will give you even greater gifts than those you had from the start. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Nangmih soah ka pilnam Israel hlang te ka pongpa sak vetih nang m'pang uh ni. Amih taengah rho la na om vetih amih cakol te koep na koei mahpawh.

And I will lead men over you, over my people Israel, and they will possess you as an inheritance. And you shall be to them as an inheritance. And you shall no longer be permitted to be without them.

13 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Nangmih te hlang aka yoop na ti uh dongah na namtu khuiah namtu cakol la na om uh.

Thus says the Lord God: Because they are saying about you, ‘You are a woman who devours men, and you are strangling your own nation,’

14 Te dongah hlang loh n'yoop voel mahpawh. Namtom neh na namtu taengah na cakol rhoe na cakol voel mahpawh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.

because of this, you shall no longer consume men, and you shall no longer harm your own nation, says the Lord God.

15 Namtom taengkah na mingthae te kan yaak sak voel pawt vetih pilnam kah kokhahnah na phuei voel mahpawh. Namtom neh na namtu m'paloe sak voel mahpawh. He tah Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.

Neither will I permit men to discover in you the shame of the Gentiles any more. And you shall never again bear the reproach of the peoples. And you shall not send your people away any more, says the Lord God.”

16 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk bal tih,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

17 “Hlang capa aw, amih khohmuen kah khosa Israel imkhui neh amih khosing, amih kah khoboe rhamlang nen ni khohmuen a poeih uh. Amih kah longpuei te ka mikhmuh ah pumom kah a tihnai bangla om.

“Son of man, the house of Israel lived on their own soil, and they defiled it with their ways and with their intentions. Their way, in my sight, became like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman.

18 Khohmuen ah thii a long sak uh tih a mueirhol neh a poeih uh dongah ni amih soah ka kosi ka hawk van.

And so I poured out my indignation upon them, because of the blood which they shed upon the land, and because they defiled it with their idols.

19 Amih te namtom taengah ka taek ka yak tih diklai ah haeh uh. A longpuei tarhing neh a khoboe rhamlang bangla amih te lai ka tloek.

And I dispersed them among the Gentiles, and they have been scattered among the lands. I have judged them according to their ways and their plans.

20 Tedae namtom te a paan tih pahoi ha pawk uh te khaw ka ming cim ni a. poeih. Amih te BOEIPA kah pilnam a ti ngawn dae a khohmuen lamloh coe uh.

And when they walked among the Gentiles, to whom they had entered, they defiled my holy name, though it was being said about them: ‘This is the people of the Lord,’ and ‘They went forth from his land.’

21 Te dongah ka cimcaihnah ming dongah ka lungma coeng. Te te a poeih uh dongah ni Israel imkhui khaw namtom taengla pahoi a pawk uh te.

But I have spared my holy name, which the house of Israel has defiled among the Gentiles, to whom they entered.

22 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he Israel imkhui taengah thui pah. Israel imkhui ka saii te nangmih ham moenih. Tedae pahoi na caeh nah ah ka cimcaihnah ming te namtom taengah na poeih dongah ni.

For this reason, you shall say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: I will act, not for your sake, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have defiled among the Gentiles, to whom you entered.

23 Namtom taengkah a poeih ka ming tanglue te ka ciim ni. Te te amih lakli ah na poeih cakhaw namtom loh kai he Yahweh ni tila a ming uh bitni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Nangmih rhangneh amih mikhmuh ah ka ciim uh ni.

And I will sanctify my great name, which was defiled among the Gentiles, which you have defiled in their midst. So may the Gentiles know that I am the Lord, says the Lord of hosts, when I will have been sanctified in you, before their eyes.

24 Nangmih te namtom lamloh kan loh vetih nangmih te diklai pum lamloh kan coi ni. Te vaengah nangmih te namah khohmuen la kan thak ni.

Certainly, I will take you away from the Gentiles, and I will gather you together from all the lands, and I will lead you into your own land.

25 Nangmih soah tui cil kang haeh vetih na tihnai cungkuem lamloh caihcil uh ni. Nangmih te na mueirhol cungkuem lamloh kan caihcil sak ni.

And I will pour clean water over you, and you shall be cleansed from all your filth, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.

26 nangmih te lungbuei thai kan paek vetih na khui ah mueihla thai ka khueh phoeiah nangmih pumsa kah lungto lungbuei te ka khoe vetih ngansen lungbuei te nangmih kan paek ni.

And I will give to you a new heart, and I will place in you a new spirit. And I will take away the heart of stone from your body, and I will give to you a heart of flesh.

27 Ka mueihla te na kotak ah kam paek ni. Te te ka saii vaengah ka oltlueh neh na pongpa uh vetih ka laitloeknah te ngaithuen neh na vai uh bitni.

And I will place my Spirit in your midst. And I will act so that you may walk in my precepts and keep my judgments, and so that you may fulfill them.

28 Na pa rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen ah kho na sak uh ni. Kamah taengah pilnam la na om uh vetih kai khaw nangmih taengah Pathen la ka om ni.

And you shall live in the land that I gave to your fathers. And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

29 Nangmih te na tihnai cungkuem lamloh kang khang vetih cangpai la kang khue ni. Te te kang kum sak bal vetih nangmih soah khokha kang khueh mahpawh.

And I will save you from all your filth. And I will call for grain, and I will multiply it, and I will not impose a famine upon you.

30 Thing thaih neh khohmuen thaih te ka thawt sak ni. Te daengah ni khokha kah kokhahnah loh namtom taengah koep n'loh uh pawt eh.

And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that you may no longer bear the disgrace of famine among the nations.

31 Te vaengah na boethae longpuei neh na khoboe aka then pawt te na poek ni. Nangmih kathaesainah neh nangmih tueilaehkoi dongah namamih mikhmuh ah te na ko-oek uh ni.

And you shall remember your very wicked ways and your intentions, which were not good. And you will be displeased by your own iniquities and your own crimes.

32 Nangmih ham ka saii hlan. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Nangmih te m'ming kuekluek saeh. Israel imkhui aw na longpbuei ah yahpok neh hmaithae sak laeh.

It is not for your sakes that I will act, says the Lord God; let this be known to you. Be confounded and ashamed over your own ways, O house of Israel.

33 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Nangmih te na thaesainah cungkuem lamloh kan caihcil khohnin ah tah khopuei te kho kan sak sak vetih imrhong te a thoh uh ni.

Thus says the Lord God: In the day when I will have cleansed you from all your iniquities, and when I will have caused the cities to be inhabited, and when I will have restored the ruinous places,

34 Khohmuen aka pong tih aka pah tom kah mikhmuh ah khopong la aka om te lat a tawn ni.

and when the deserted land will have been cultivated, which previously was desolate to the eyes of all who passed by,

35 Te vaengah, “Khohmuen aka pong he Eden dum bangla om. Khopuei rhoek tah kaksap coeng tih pong coeng. A koengloeng rhoek loh cakrhuet la kho a sak uh,” a ti uh ni.

then they shall say: ‘This uncultivated land has become a garden of delight, and the cities, which were deserted and destitute and overturned, have been settled and fortified.’

36 Te vaengah kai BOEIPA loh a koengloeng tangtae khaw ka thoh tih aka pong khaw ka tawn te na kaepvai kah aka sueng namtom loh a ming ni. Kai BOEIPA loh ka thui bangla ka saii ni.

And the Gentiles, those who remain around you, shall know that I, the Lord, have built up what was destroyed, and have planted what was uncultivated. I, the Lord, have spoken and acted.

37 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Amih kah saii pah ham te Israel imkhui he koep ka toem ni vetih amih te hlang tuping bangla ka ping sak ni.

Thus says the Lord God: Even in this time, the house of Israel shall find me, so that I may act for them. I will multiply them like a flock of men,

38 A khoning vaengah hmuencim kah boiva tah Jerusalem boiva bangla om ni. Hlang kah boiva aka bae khopuei rhoek he a kaksap la om vetih kai he BOEIPA tila a ming uh ni.

like a holy flock, like the flock of Jerusalem in her solemnities. So shall the deserted cities be filled with flocks of men. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
